2025 Football Schedule - University of Tennessee Athletics
So we play the exact same 8 SEC teams next yr as we played this yr?
Because viewership-numbers-wise, it has been…since like the mid-to-late 2000s.I don’t get why they keep acting like Bama LSU is always some highly anticipated matchup
Correct. This year and last year were bridge seasons for the conference while they try to figure what the conference opponent rotation setup will be for future years.2024 Football Schedule - University of Tennessee Athletics

Agree about UGA but man this past year flies in the face of everything you said about Florida.I would rather have UGA early. Get that game out of the way. Sometimes it feels like they are a slow starting team.
If Florida suffers a couple loses early they won't have a bounce back year. Sun Belt Billy is on a short leash and if they have their third loss in October that program might fall apart. Outside of this year it seems like they are always a shell of themselves at the end of the season
If, and this is a big if, the SEC decides to go with the 7 teams that the Vols didn’t play in 2024 and 2025, you could seeGeorgia drops off the schedule in 2026 and 2027.
i wouldnt mind a cupcake SEC schedule like Texas got this year in 26 and 27 considering we will likely be breaking in a new QB at that time.If, and this is a big if, the SEC decides to go with the 7 teams that the Vols didn’t play in 2024 and 2025, you could see
No UGA, NO BAMA, NO UF, and NO UK in both 2026 and 2027. Ummm …seriously? Just can’t see that happening.
I’ll bet changes are made before the 2026 schedule is set.
I don't really like the bye week followed by New Mexico State. I would much rather it be before an SEC game. Its kinda like having two bye weeks in a row. I would rather see those breaks spread out.Cant ask for better open dates. 5 games then the first one followed by 4 games then the second one and then the last 3 games
Yes, that was announced before this season. Starting in 2026 they will begin a more normal rotation, and most likely move to 9 conference games.2024 Football Schedule - University of Tennessee Athletics

I know that it was once legitimately a premier game, but it hasn’t felt like that this whole decadeBecause viewership-numbers-wise, it has been…since like the mid-to-late 2000s.
There’s a reason the conference and the networks have have been so overly gung-ho about keeping that game on the conference calendar whenever any talks about conference scheduling are entered (or come up).
Kind of unrelated yet related, and no lying here. 100% Clemson DOES. I was fishing up by their stadium a month or so back, and about 9 a.m., they started running through the jumbotron clips they wanted to use for the game. I was shocked when suddenly it sounded like a legacy player had just walked on the field right before kick-off. They 100% pipe crowd noise in whenever they want a pop out of the crowd. It happened for about an hour off and on.No mention of "piped in crowd noise"?
